In one week, Cognition: An Erica Reed Thriller continues with Episode 2: The Wise Monkey on PC and Mac. The second installment of this chilling series -- which IndieGames.com has called "on par with Gabriel Knight" -- will release January 30

• Wednesday 1/30 - Launch Party: Starting at 4:00PM Eastern, the Phoenix Online team (http://www.youtube.com/user/postudios) will host a live broadcast to celebrate The Wise Monkey's launch. Jane Jensen, creator of Gabriel Knight and story consultant on Cognition, will join in at 5:00.

Direct links for both of these streaming events will be posted ahead of time on the YouTube channels linked above, as well as on Phoenix Online's Twitter feed (@POStudios).

Previously on Cognition...FBI agent Erica Reed has an advantage when it comes to tracking a killer: an unusual set of post-cognitive abilities that help her sense how a crime unfolded. She also has a score to settle with the serial killer who took her brother's life three years ago. But vengeance takes a backseat in Episode 2: The Wise Monkey, when Agent Reed's fellow bureau members become targets. Can she find a deranged killer before it's too late, or is it just a matter of time before Erica herself falls victim to The Wise Monkey?

Thank you BrownEyedTigre for the news on this - I'm very interested but so behind with games so do prefer, like Mad, to wait until all episodes are completed - the Gabriel Knight comparison is very appealing!!!!

I always pick the wrong horse. However the good news is that I contacted the Postudios store and they were aware of the delay with gamestop and gave me a coupon to get the games direct from them and I'm downloading as I type this. Fantastic customer relations. I got an answer within hours of my email.

A peculiar thing happened with my download and I thought I'd share it in case anyone else runs into this problem.

When I downloaded the file it would not open and didn't show up as an executable file. I found on their boards that this happens and the quick fix is to rename the file with the suffix .exe and doing this alows the file to open and install the game.

Evidently windows 7 forgets to add the suffix when it downloads the file and you have to put it in manually.
